Denver fishing?

Heading up on a business trip the week of 5/11.

Will be in town all week, and the schedule will be mostly full 9-5/Mon-Fri,
but how about close to the city for evening fishing?

Will try to get there early on Sunday to get a mostly full day in, where
must I fish?

Sawhill ponds near Boulder might be good by then.

Tim,
Go fishing with the man, if you can find the time. He's one of the most
avid, appreciative-of-surroundings and inquisitive anglers I've fished with.
You will both enjoy the outing!! Mike, how do you want your trout
prepared?g

Hi Tom,

I'm definitely game. I think the problem might be runoff. There's a
lot of snow in the hills this year. I *like* fishing the runoff and
usually do well on the edges, though it's hardly what people expect.

Mike stay in touch and, if you're game, let's hit it.

Hi Tim,

Will keep you in mind. Don't mind fishing the edges during run-off if that
is what works. Have had to do it many times on Penn's and other streams
during rainy seasons.

Thanks for the hospitality!

From what I read on the net, CO is lousy with FF ops, but it looks like all
the famous hot spots are at least a 2 hr drive:

Also, try googling 'fly fishing denver' for closer locales.

nb

try an hour drive north on I25 and up big
thompson canyon ( hwy 34 ) ......or the poudre ( hwy 14 ) cnyn...

lots of spots to stop and ff along the way .... you
can see some great scenery along the way as well !!...

Used to be some ponds off Cherry Creek and there is Cherry Creek Res. Been
20 years since I fished them.
